Hi all, i am new on the forum and have read a lot about my HTC magic as root but I see it is very difficult because my model is 32A (with headphone port 3.5 on the top) so the fastboot I gives is that

I tried root with SuperOneClick, z4root, universal adro root, to no avail even the temporary root .I want is to install a custom ROM like CyanogenMod (if not the 5.0 6.0.xo .8) I did a custom install ms-dos recovery but I do not recognize the command fastboot, I hope to guide me and clear my doubts ,thanks and Greetings from Nicaragua!
Sorry for the english, i use google translate xD
You have MT3G v1.2 (it is not magic 32a)
SuperOneClick works and on Android 2.2.1 too. This is best and safest method to root.
What is your problem with it?
p.s. Try to use old versions of SuperOneClick...
Thank you for responding, the fastboot says it is a 32A, which has 288 mb of RAM, I will try with older versions of SuperOneClick ...
Yeah. It said, but the key thing is radio. Version 2.22.xx.xx is using by 32b magics.
In practice avoid install official ruu roms for 32a, cause they have radio 3.22.xx.xx or 6.35.xx.xx - so it will be "deadly".
Overall, there are 3 different models: 32a, 32b, mt3g v1.2

Are you sure about that? damage happens to me today, I found the official rom 1.6 with radio install it could not skip the activation of google and download the upgrade to 2.2.1 and everything always correct radio 2.22.28 32A, with respect to root SuperOneClick i tested with new version that came out yesterday and told me it was root but in making the test of the "su" command the phone does not showed me I needed root permissions. I'd say rare but i will try all versions of SuperOneClick to find one that I work, the good thing is that I can leave the factory, another thing I can do is leave it with 1.5 and look for a sim with data plan for the activavion and there whether to root for any software.
if others have my problem and want to become root or damaged their HTC myTouch visit this link from your post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=659403
download the number 46 (android 1.5 or 1.6 not sure) and 47 (OTA upgrade to 2.2.1), the 46 rename it to "sappimg.zip" and 47 to "update.zip" if you want to be root copy the sappimg.zip file in the root of the sd and turn the phone by pressing the "volume - + Power" and follow the steps, if all goes well, the phone started but need data plan to activate the phone and login with your google account when they do SuperOneClick can use the z4root or universal root, then put a modified rom.
can also choose to put the file update.zip to the root of the sd and start the phone with home + power key and select "apply sdcard: update.zip" and the phone started with 2.2.1 froyo original, this version Unlike the earlier you start the phone without activation of google.
thanks you for the support this forum is great!!!
I think you should use GingerBreak 1.2 to root your device. I've tried, it works fine.

Appaantly to downgrade to 1.5 on my vodafone uk htc magic, because its not a perfect SPL, i have to create a goldcard, now, is there anyway to root my phone easier than creating a goldcard? (too complicated for me), when i try to do the sappimg.nbh file, i get incorrect id, i followed every guide

can i root easier?
What do you aim to do?
If you wish to flash a new rom then you dont need to root first because with that SPL you can boot the phone into fastboot and use the usb fastboot facility to remote boot the recovery tool via the android sdk. Then use nandroid to backup your existing rom, wipe the phone and flash a new img. (i believe the new rom has to be signed as s=on)
I have done the exact same this week as my first attempt to flash my uk voda magic. I must have read every article I found and discovered that so many are misleading/confusing for the owners of a non-perfect spl 32b. I used this method to go straight from an unrooted magic running donut to the new cyanogen 5 running eclair using Amon's recovery tool 1.6.2g, my phone details are exactly the same as yours.
One thing I have been wondering is if I should flash the recovery program onto my phone? Is it safe to rely on usb fastbooting the program?
see the htc_sapphire_hacking wiki for more info.
thanks mate, i didnt need to downgrade my phone as i have been trying to do for weeks, now proud owner of rooted htc magic with cynaogens new 2.1 rom

Yes I would flash the recovery image on to your phone, its perfectly safe and much more convenient than using fastboot every time.

Hello everyone,
I tried to root my HTC Magic, tagged by the SFR french operator.
The HBOOT was 1.33.0007 and the downgrade to 1.5 never work with a goldcard
So i tried with an SAPPIMG.zip that i choose by mistake, and it update my phone to a MyTouch phone with this Fastboot info :

Now I can't connect my phone to my google account because i can't use 3G.
So the phone is unusable, and don't know how to save it.
The phone is not rooted and i wish to back it to a French SFR official ROM at least.
Please can somebody help ?
Excuse my poor english.

Make a goldcard (there are lots of tutorials here and elsewhere) and run this RUU http://www.4shared.com/file/259253870/f1a485cb/RUU_Sapphire_Vodafone_FRA_1911.html
Thanx for your answer,
But I can't make a goldcard, because i can't get the phone CID.
EDIT: Now i can go to the desktop of the phone and use it, I just add the SFR apn to use 3G and connect to my google account.
But I want to Flash my phone now, and I can create a GoldCard to, but I never work ( Main version older, however 2go microSD Kingston ), so this is my question :
Is there exist some HTC Magic wich are not Rootable ?
Is your link for 1.5 Vodaphone phone ?
Thanx for answer.
oopinou
The goldcard can trick your phone into flashing a ROM intended for another phone, but not an older version than what you have now. The only thing I can think of is using FlashRec to install a custom recovery (Amon_Ra's is awesome) and then flash another ROM, SPL, Radio or whatever you need from there.
Ok, but with this GoldCard, the one thing I have to do, is put the correct SAPPIMG.nbh and booting in Hboot mode ?
Because I tried 5 MicroSD ( 2 Kingston 2Go ) and no one work.
Is the GoldCard a Magic method ? Because everyone tell this is the ultimate solution, but i found a lot of people who never see it work.
oopinou
It's not specific to the Magic, but, as I said, you won't be able to flash an older version than what you have now. Go to Settings > About Phone and if your Build number is larger than 1.91.163.1 the goldcard won't help. Use flashrec.
Thanks a lot for your answer !
My build number is :
2.10.5339 release-keys
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So the GoldCard is useless ? ( because i found this information in no one place )
Next to use FlashRec in 1.6, I have to be root no ?
My prob is :
- I have not rooted my phone ( so can't do anything ? )
- I can't use GoldCard ( as you said, my build number is larger than 1.91.163.1 )
- I am in 1.6
so :
- I can't back to 1.5 ( because not rooted, and no use of Goldcard possible )
- I can't use FlashRec ( because i'm in 1.6 )
So how can I get out this **** ?
oopinou
You don't need root to use flashrec. Just try it.
I try FlashRec and can Download the cm-recovery but during Backup I get the error :
Flash FAILED: Could not run command
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then I check the invisible stars " * " to unlock Flashing of the img, and same error.

You've got the new 32B radio which a lot of ROM's don't support. After flashing CM you need to also flash the 2708 kernel patch. Search for ezterry on here, download his kernel, put it on your SD card along with CM 6.1 and the Google Apps Add-on, boot into recovery, wipe system/cache/dalvik-cache, and finally flash the 3 files from above. Make sure you flash the 2708 kernel AFTER flashing CM 6.1.

could some one help me please?
Google the APN settings for whatever carrier the SIM card is with. At the Google activation screen, hit menu, then wireless networks, then "Access Point Names". Either edit the existing entry to match the settings for your carrier or add a new for your carrier.
Thanks.. but
Thank you very much DonJuan
i get it worked and at least i can use it like a Phone
i try to root it with one click root but superuser permisions dont work,because of that i cant install clockwork recovery trought ROMmanager (it says An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands)
maybe i need to try another rooting metod or something..
Try using SuperOneClick. You may need to install superuser from the market after running it.

Hello,

And I want to put Yoshi Froyo (or any good android 2.2).
So I looked at a bunch of articles and started following one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756918) and I got my phone rooted (with superuser permissions and all that jazz).
Okay cool, so now I need a recovery image. I installed the one listed (Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img) and then I restarted my phone and went into recovery just to make sure it worked, and it did.
Okay so now I went to the thread and read it all and found some instructions
"-Make sure you have the .27.08 or .28.25 radio and .0013(d) spl... if not see extras...
-Superwipe twice
-Recovery wipe the list twice
-install ROM
-Enjoy ^__^"
So now I know I don't have a .27.08 radio and I don't know what spl I have, but I assume I don't have that one either. So I go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909900 as it said and read it, but here is where I become confused.
Do I need to downgrade to 1.5 or 1.6? Or can I do it from 2.1? I tried following (http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/) and the SAPPIMG.nbh came up invalid, so then I tried another one and it also came up invalid.
So here is my question, do I need to downgrade in order to install a custom rom? I've read a bunch of conflicting material and I don't have any desire to brick my phone. Some say I do some say I don't.
Any help? thanks!
Well first of all you have a diff radio then most of us cause of rodgers. And the 2708 is a dream radio not magic same with the spl you mentioned. As long as you have root you can custom rom.
And I would recommend cm6.1 stable I find it more stable then yoshi's right now I like yoshi's but I think it still has a little way to go.

I know it's a magic cause it does not have a keyboard. I bought it with cupcake on it and then I got the Rogers Sense UI Rom update to android 2.1-update1 and then I got the 911 fix.
Edit: I got HBOOT-1.76.2007 with S-OFF on my phone by following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756918
Now I am trying to get the 3.22 rom on it and when I load up fastboot usb it shows the device in my device manager "Android Bootloader Interface" but it won't show up in fastboot.
nvm I had everything I needed already, I simply put on CM6 and it worked.
i have an htc magic... in order to root it, i have to turn the security off, so i can access the "reflashing" step of the process. anyone can tell me how to do that?
when i press volume down + power, it say S-ON (instead of S-OFF)
is a 32B motherboard.
my question is: Can i fix that problem from Terminal Emulator? if yes: what r the command lines?
If you set up your 32b right, you wont ever need (or want) s-off.
I can't access the "home + power" menu...
it just freeze...
So i can't flash it.
Follow my guide found in my signature...
i installed Universal Androot and rooted my device.
if i reflash de device will i be able to use any network? (is locket in vodafone spain now. that is the main reason i wanna reflash it. so i can use it in any network)

No. Reflash-process does not unlock locked network. To unlock you need buy unlock-code or find any free variant (get unlock code for free (if you are lucky man) or tell vodafone spain what you are using phone outside Spain and ask code; or something else)

Yes. Root and install a custom recovery. Then wipe and flash.
Gingerbreak or superoneclick root works for rooting. Rom manager app can usually install a recovery
Edit, it says 32a and a 2.22 radio? Cpld 13 I'm assuming? And a headphone Jack on top? You can get s-off by flashing an Eng spl (like 1.33.2010) but it'll break a lot of stuff. And you don't need it for anything
Yes, has the 3.5mm jack on top. I do have the original 1.6 backup OS on sd card if I need to go back. (currently at 2.2.1)
(nonslide mytouch 3g)
I will try the superoneclick root method and then go to market and download the rom manager and choose clockwork recovery and look at roms avail.
thanks very much for info!
p.s.
I am going to download (add to formated sd card)
dreamteam froyo 1.9
dt froyo gapps
ezterry 1.5.2 (do i need this?)
I think thats all i need on the sd card. Will add the clockwrk recovery via rom manager program from marketplace. I still hold down the Vol down and pwr button to get into clkwork recovery?
I will wipe cache , then flash with dreamteamfroyo, gapps and ezterry (one after another after each one finishes?)
Phew... THanks !
On the dream and magic the only think s-off does is allow fastboot flash. And you don't need that unless you're constantly flashing radios, spls, splash screens (the first one). And radios and spl can be flashed (with extreme caution) through recovery
Btw, root != s-off and vice versa. Root = gaining root access.
S-off is turning off security in hboot (on newer HTC devices, this also controls rw access to /system. Not the same here)

Gonna give it a whirl tonight .
Ran superoneclick.. seemed to worked, I have superuser icon
Downloaded and installed Rom Manager from marketplace and installed Clockwork mod.
After installing clockwork mod, I clicked the reboot now in clockwork mod option, but it just sits there.. rebooted and tried again, same thing.
I then tried load rom within the clockword mod program on the phone and it does show the files on the sd card. But I was afraid to go further..didnt want to screw it up..just in case.
any thoughts? perhaps not rooted? I found gingerbreak, but in the folder there was no apk file to load from sdcard.
